However, the system didn't notice the strange emotions in Lu Xiu's expression at this moment, because the current Luo Xiu really wanted to get involved. After all, when he thought of that terrible truth, Luo Xiu had an inexplicable feeling. For many people, sometimes ignorance was a kind of happiness.
Luo Xiu flew across the Battlefield of Gods and Infernals, carefully checking the specific situation of the entire battlefield. At the same time, he listened to the system's explanation in his mind. At this moment, Luo Xiu couldn't help but secretly regret. If he had known that the situation here was so complicated, he wouldn't have gotten involved. However, it was too late now. For the current Luo Xiu, it was extremely difficult to get rid of this situation.
Luo Xiu soon returned to the area where the two sides were fighting. He looked at the still tragic battlefield from afar. At this moment, the experts below the Extreme Dao Realm had already left the battlefield. After all, the difference in cultivation between the two sides was too great. Even if these people participated in the battle, they would only be a burden.
Then, Luo Xiu noticed that an extremely familiar figure had appeared in the crowd besieging the man. Luo Xiu looked carefully. Who else could it be but Xiao Yu?!
Thinking of this guy's surname and the filthy relationship between him and the Devouring Heaven Emperor, Luo Xiu couldn't help but twitch his mouth at this moment.
Very clearly, this fellow was also a great powerhouse in the Divine Realm. Luo Xiu was currently standing in midair far away at this very moment. Looking at the scene of both parties fighting to the death, he could not help giving rise to a trace of carefree feeling.
Although he didn't know when he would be able to get rid of this embarrassing situation, Luo Xiu knew that if he wanted to completely control his fate in his own hands, he had to become strong enough.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu felt relieved. As for whether to return the Boundary Compass to the demons or not, Luo Xiu had already decided. For the time being, the Boundary Compass was just a tool for him to escape. If the demons could really come up with some treasures in exchange for it, Luo Xiu wouldn't mind returning it to them.
At the same time, in a more magnificent world that Luo Xiu didn't know about, in the depths of a magnificent pavilion, a group of people was discussing something. These people were all tyrannical and unparalleled. Just by standing there, the surrounding space trembled.
Among the people mentioned by these powerful existences was Luo Xiu. Of course, these people were only surprised by Luo Xiu's ability. After all, it was still very shocking for these powerful existences to be able to easily remove the restriction they planted on those ants.
At this moment, there were more than ten people sitting and standing in the hall. All of them looked dignified and unsightly. It could be said that their operation this time was a total failure.
"Third Elder, the Demon Lord is in seclusion. If there's anything, he has already explained clearly before. We need to discuss and make a decision together. Since this operation was unsuccessful, we must send enough people to the mortal world to bring back the things the Demon Lord needs for his seclusion. As for the other matters, we'll take our time to discuss.
By the way, is there any news about Deputy Palace Master Lan Guang?
Those little fellows have already returned. Could it be that this person intends to stay there forever? "
The two old men sat facing each other with a tea table in front of them. The other people were either sitting or standing around the two of them. The two of them chatted as they played chess. However, the words of the man with the goatee did indeed make the Third Elder look a little awkward.
"Deputy Palace Master Lan Guang should have encountered some trouble, right?
Those little guys don't know what happened at all. They came down to the mortal world with nothing at all. Only Deputy Palace Master Lan Guang came down with his real body. Therefore, if we want to know what happened in the two universes under our control, we must wait for him to come back before we can make a decision. We also need to find out what happened before we can send people down. If it's really other hostile forces behind the scenes, we will really suffer heavy losses. "
In response to the First Elder's question, the Third Elder wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and explained.
He was both in awe and afraid of the old man in front of him because he knew very well that if he couldn't answer the question, it was very likely that he would be killed.
The First Elder was a terrifying existence who had slaughtered several universes in order to stabilize his position.
When he thought of what they were facing now, he really needed to investigate the situation carefully. He wanted to know why vice-hall master Lan Guang had not returned in time, and why there was no news of him at all, causing the nine disciples he had brought with him to suffer severe Souls.
Deputy Palace Master Lan Guang must have his own considerations. He sent a few disciples back in advance probably because he discovered something and it was inconvenient for him to take these disciples with him. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much. This is not the first time something like this has happened. With our arrangements, there will definitely be no problem. Think about it, in those two universes, we have already opened up the two universes and set up so many backup plans. The indigenous experts of the two universes will definitely fight endlessly. In this way, the Demon Lord's cultivation resources will not be lacking at all. Moreover, due to the special environment of the two universes, the resources there will have an unparalleled promotion effect for cultivators like us who practice demonic arts, so we don't have to care too much about the opposition of those ants. After all, to them, we are gods! "
The person who spoke was a man standing beside the Third Elder. This middle-aged man had a gloomy expression, and the ruthlessness in his expression was not concealed at all.
However, from this person's gloomy expression, it could be seen that this guy was not a good person. However, everyone present did not know whether to agree or disagree with his words. Although many people were disdainful of this person's cultivation, they did not open their mouths to oppose him. At most, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly, revealing the sarcasm they had for this person.
"Alright, within three days, if Vice Palace Master Lan Guang doesn't send any news back from the mountain, then send Elder Su Mingpeng down. If it's really because of the aboriginals there, then directly uproot them.
Do not have any thoughts of being soft-hearted. Those indigenous people will only bring us more resources. If you want to maintain your cultivation resources in the long term, then you must speed up the plan of opening up the myriad worlds. If we are unable to open up the other new worlds, what will happen?
Do you need me to say anything? The resources in these two worlds have already been plundered by us. I believe that after eight or ten more times, they will be completely exhausted. If you still want to improve your cultivation, then you must work together. I don't want to see anyone dragging us down. "
The First Elder's gaze swept across the entire hall fiercely. The chess piece in his hand was directly crushed into powder, which then slowly fell onto the chessboard. He stood up and swept his solemn gaze across the entire hall. His expression was full of sternness as he spoke.
Although there were still a few people in the crowd who wanted to speak, they were quickly pulled back by the people next to them.
At this moment, everyone in this world was pondering why the First Elder would say such words. Although they also knew that the Divine Realm and Demon Realm's plane were almost completely plundered by them, when they thought of the last move, the terrifying method that could sacrifice the entire universe, why didn't the First Elder arrange for it this time? Some people in the crowd could not help but ask.
"First Elder, didn't we already plan it before?
This is the last time we plunder, then we will directly set up the formation and directly sacrifice those two worlds to Lord Demon God. You have already agreed before, why did you change your mind at the last minute? "After saying that, the woman's expression was filled with doubt, and she questioned everyone with a bad tone.
"Bang!"
However, just as the woman's voice fell, the First Elder waved his hand and directly slapped the woman away, leaving behind more than ten people who were stunned on the spot.
At this moment, no one dared to breathe loudly. They stood quietly in place, not daring to move at all. Everyone knew that their First Elder was definitely angry, but they didn't know what they had done wrong. Most importantly, no one knew why there had been such a big change in their previous plan. It was also because of this situation that everyone present felt somewhat baffled.
"Alright, don't mention the matter of sacrificing those two worlds in front of the First Elder. Our Xuanming Dynasty is no longer the same as before, only focusing on the immediate benefits.
Now that the Netherworld Devil Sect is established, if our Xuanming Dynasty does not restrain itself, it is very likely that they will find a reason to destroy us. The most fundamental reason why the Demon Lord hurriedly went into seclusion again after ten thousand years is to push his cultivation to the Demigod Realm. Because only in this way can we protect our family property. Otherwise, all of us present will become the slaves of others, or even their playthings! "
When the Third Elder saw that the crowd was still gathered together, he could not help but ask them to disperse, because he knew very well what the First Elder was thinking.
"That universe is so secretive. As long as we are careful, it is impossible to be discovered by others. Why do we have to be so careful?
I really don't understand what the First Elder is thinking. For so many years, it was because of our repeated tolerance that the Netherworld Devil Sect became completely arrogant. If we allow them to be so unscrupulous, our Xuanming Dynasty will really become a pile of scrap metal. "
Although they were very afraid of the First Elder, no one cared about the Third Elder in front of them. Everyone almost dispersed noisily. Only the middle-aged woman who stayed behind looked at the Third Elder with an extremely serious expression and spoke.
"Fifth Junior Sister, don't tell me you think the First Elder is very free?
The Demon Lord has been in seclusion for so many years and has not come out. If anything happens to the First Elder, whether it is the Nine Yang Sword Sect, the Netherworld Devil Sect, or the Life Transformation Temple, no one will let us go. You juniors must not cause any trouble for my Xuanming Dynasty's thousand-year plan. During this time, stay in the sect obediently and don't go anywhere. Whether the Xuanming Dynasty can get through the biggest crisis now depends on whether the Demon Lord can improve his cultivation.
As for the rest, they will be the difficulties we will have to face in the future.
Tell Shuang Yang to make preparations. If Vice Palace Master Lan Guang does not return in time, he will go to that universe with Ming Peng. He must find out what happened. The First Elder usually does not appear easily. If he does, it means that the matter is very important. We must make all the preparations. If there is a change in the situation, we must first deal with the matter there. Otherwise, if the First Elder really takes action himself, we will not be able to get any benefits. "The Third Elder looked at the youngest Junior Sister in front of him and could not help but sigh as he explained.
The two of them looked at the place where the First Elder disappeared with complicated expressions. This was because they knew very well that the current Xuanming Dynasty was in a precarious situation. If they were not careful, whether it was the Netherworld Devil Sect, the Nine Yang Sword Sect, or the Life Transformation Temple, they could easily destroy them.
Because of this, even though the Demon Lord was in seclusion and did not come out, they could only barely maintain the ruined state of the Empire. The entire universe had become completely unpredictable because of that matter.
"That's right, did you find that person? I told you before that once you find the Three Lights Daoist, you must come with me and bring him here. I need the Three Lights Daoist to summarize the key points in the next thousand years. During this time, this Elder has been thinking, what exactly went wrong?
Why did we go from having an absolute advantage to suddenly falling to this state? What exactly went wrong?
This old man is truly puzzled, but the most urgent matter right now is to find Deputy Palace Master Lan Guang. As long as Deputy Palace Master Lan Guang can safely bring back the item, the Demon Lord's cultivation will be able to take another step forward. At that time, the Demon Race, who possesses heaven-defying methods, will definitely be able to stabilize the Empire. "
The Third Elder looked at his Fifth Junior Sister and said bitterly when he saw that she was still standing there.
He knew the current situation better than anyone else. Once an uncontrollable situation appeared in the dynasty, it was not something he could decide with his cultivation base. At that time, whatever happened to the Demon Lord during his breakthrough, it was very likely that they would be consigned to eternal damnation once again.
